The ITP Straight Styli – Type A with a silicon nitride ball is a precision probing stylus designed for everyday CMM work, especially when scanning untreated aluminum parts. Its rigid construction and reliable performance help you capture accurate measurements with minimal setup.

• Thread: M5 male thread for quick, secure integration with compatible probes and fixtures
• Overall Length: 40.75 mm, offering a compact profile with ample reach for tight measurement environments
• Stem Material: Extremely rigid carbide stem provides stiffness across a wide range of dimensions
• Ball Material: Silicon nitride ball delivers smooth contact and excellent wear resistance on aluminum surfaces
• Design: Straight stylus geometry designed for consistent, repeatable probing
• Ball Size Options: Part of the ITP ball-styled family with sizes from Ø1.5 mm to Ø10.0 mm; other sizes can be requested via configurator or by email

This stylus combination improves measurement reliability by reducing deflection and wear during scanning, particularly on untreated aluminum where silicon nitride balls excel. The carbide stem maintains dimensional stability under repeated probing, while the M5 connection makes it straightforward to swap in and out of standard probe setups. Whether you're performing routine inspection checks or capturing fine feature detail, this straight stylus offers consistent contact, long service life, and compatibility across a broad range of CMM systems.
